Hello.

So I've got cats.

You've got cats?

You've got lots of cats.

Yeah, I currently cohabit with three cats. Okay. There is Rory, who is a big ginger tom cat, who likes licking people on the toes for some reason. Lovely. He's a good boy. Don't know why that is. He also likes eating soap bubbles out of the bath if you're having a bubble bath. He likes to come over and lick the soap bubbles off the bath. If you're having an ordinary bath without bubble bath in it, like your standard, I'm getting a wash bath. He's not happy about this because he comes to the bathroom expecting bubbles. There is no bubbles. He walks away grumpy. Sometimes he hits you on the top of the head, which he did to me the other day, is that I was laid in the bath and I just felt something hit the top of my head. I looked around. It was the cat had smacked me on the top of the head because there was no bubbles in the lack of bibles. There's also Leopold, who goes by his nickname of Big Chungus. Chungus is a black Tom cat, who I think the millennial types would refer to as a heck-in chonk. He's an absolute cube of cat.

He's a perfect cuboid cat. black Tom Cat, who I think the millennial types would refer to as a heck-in' chunk.

He's a tongue.

He's an absolute cube of cat. He's a perfect cuboid cat. He is a huge cat. Certainly for an ordinary domestic cat. He's not big like the way the Maine Coon is big, right? But for an ordinary mochie, he is enormous. And he's built big, like he's not. Yeah, it's all muscle. He's a sturdy boy.

Yeah, he's stocky.

He's like he's perfectly square.

That's the thing, he's built big, like he's not. Yeah, it's all muscle. He's a sturdy boy. Yeah, he's stocky. He's like, he's perfectly square. That's the thing. He's perfectly square. Last time we had the Chungis to the vet, the vet and the veterinary nurse had an argument about whether he was overweight. Because according to the textbook, he is overweight. And the nurse is going, look at him, there's not a stitch on him, the size of him.

He's all muscle.

He has an entire slab of beef.

But he's not fat, he's just a big fucking cat.

And there was also Hubert Cumberdale, who is named after a character from the 2000s
